Nortel Networks Call Center Set Up and Operation Guide

Chapter 12Line administration

Before Call Center can answer an incoming line, you must assign the line to be answered by a Call

Center skillset. Refer to “A comparison of Basic and Professional Call Center” on page 15 for

information on how many lines you can configure for your call center. The line numbers can be

any line number from 1 to 500.

For each line that you want Call Center to answer, you assign:

• the line to be answered by Call Center

• the skillset that calls on this line go to

• the number of rings before the line is answere d

You can record your line answering information in the table “Line answering” on page 262.

Line status is set to Yes, Call Center answers the lines assigned as Call Center and CallPilot
